I don’t feel like working out. At this stage in my life, I still think those 80s hits are the bee’s knees, and I’ve packed on about 50 extra pounds since those glorious days. It’s a pivotal moment: do I choose to maintain my mobility in the coming years, or do I start browsing for mobility scooters? My “get fit” plan can no longer be a distant dream.
And, as luck would have it, I recently sustained a stress fracture in my foot. Yeah, I may be exaggerating a smidge, but my foot went from “totally fine” to “definitely not fine” after I spent an afternoon with it awkwardly tucked under my desk. Who knew that my backside could exert enough pressure to snap bones?
Now I’ve got a solid excuse to skip my workout. But when my foot heals, those excuses will vanish. Until then, let’s dive into some laugh-out-loud reasons to avoid working out—trust me, I can’t be the only one who has a million distractions. I’ll break it down into reasons to avoid the gym and reasons to skip home workouts.
Disclaimer: These are purely for entertainment purposes and should not be taken as legitimate excuses—except for No. 4. And perhaps No. 20.
